[quote=Anonymous]If you know you will eventually move, I would lean toward doing it sooner rather than later.  There are language immersion programs you could transfer into, assuming your child would have the required proficiency which it sounds like he/ she would.  My understanding is that, while immersion programs for kindergarten are very competitive with a lottery system, by the time you get up to 2nd/ 3rd grade schools have a hard time filling any spots that may have been vacated due to the proficiency requirements at that point, so you'd likely have a decent chance of getting accepted.

However, if there's a chance that you would ultimately not move, as a PP suggested I would wait.  If you're happy with your schools and commute, and could potentially be happy with the schools through high school, it might worth waiting it out longer.

Either way, I don't think you need to base your decision on 3rd grade testing.  Parents can request testing every year after that, 3rd grade is just the initial baseline, so your child wouldn't necessarily miss out on great programs just because you transfer in after 3rd grade.[/quote]
